Affordable Arrangements

erfect, and the service was everything we could ask for. Would book with AA again and again!

wers that were seasonal to save a few more pennies. She also seamlessly adjusted our proposal when we postponed our wedding reception. Carly has a beautiful, creative talent, and we were so honored to work with her!

l, responsive, talented - and more! Carly was wonderful to work with for so many reasons: 1) She was able to take my vision for our wedding and turn it into a detailed plan . (Bonus points because she did this entirely virtually during COVID!) . 2) She was flexible to work within our budget and had the most creative ways to repurpose flowers. 3) She was kind throughout the process as she answered all my questions and was extremely patient as we worked out the finer details of our floral needs. I was blown away by the high quality and beauty of the flowers at our wedding. Many thanks to Carly and the team at Affordable Arrangements for making our wedding truly breathtaking. It was a pleasure to work with you!

y strict budget. I sent her some inspiration photos and she could not have done a better job. She was able to capture the vibrant fall color palate look I was going for. I honestly don't think it could have been more perfect. I will be dreaming about my bouquet for years to come.

hing came out just how I imagined.

downsized our original order due to covid and just had a small bridal party order (bridal & bridesmaids’ bouquets and groom & groomsmen’s boutonnieres). The bride’s bouquet was very pretty, but we were expecting it to be a bit larger (thus the 4-star review). The bride specifically asked that the arrangement be large enough so that the stems were not shown when it was held (it was one of her only requests). The bouquet did show the stems and was not as large as expected. We would definitely use Carly & Affordable Arrangements again, but perhaps ask for a picture of what the arrangement will look like so there are no surprises.

ss and the color scheme I was thinking of, she immediately came up with some great ideas. Fast forward to our wedding day and she completely blew it out of the park with her florals! We didn’t want to spend a ton of money on our flowers and Carly kept that in mind during the entire process. She was extremely responsive to emails, worked with a few changes that we needed last minute and was overall a lovely person to work with. I would highly recommend Affordable Arrangements – Carly really has an eye for detail and is SO easy to work with!

r my reception which we ended up putting at our sweetheart table so saved on that.

I loved that she worked out of her home and I fully support anal businesses. I couldn’t have imagined finding a better florist. My flowers came out more beautiful than I could have imagined and I received so many compliments. I didn’t go crazy on flowers but of what I did order, Carly was flexible when I wanted to make changes and last many additions and provided great advice and was very detailed! She was meant to do this and I couldn’t be happier with my choices and Carly’s professional advice. Thanks so much Carly for making my wedding so beautiful with all your arrangements! The day after our wedding, we ended up donating our flowers to a lady near our venue that raises money for underprivileged children.

me person and have them delivered right to the venue! The floral arrangements were exactly like we agreed upon in the proposal, and the flowers were delivered ahead of schedule. We were so happy with Affordable Arrangements!

absolutely beautiful at a very reasonable price! We could not have been happier and would absolutely recommend Affordable Arrangements!

when we made last minute changes. We felt like she really understood our vision, and delivered! Everyone thought our flowers were beautiful!

and the flowers were more beautiful than I could've imagined. Everything from the bouquets, to the arch display, cake flowers and centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous.

ed, while not costing half of my wedding budget! Affordable Arrangements accomplished all of that and so much more. With just a few Pinterest photos, Carly understood exactly what I wanted and I was BLOWN AWAY by the final product. Carly and her team truly created designs that were better than what I could have imagined. We had incredible service throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. I would recommend Affordable Arrangements to anyone!

g a small fortune. She walked my mother and I through everything and was really easy to reach throughout the entire process. She even made some changes for when we decided on using fresh flowers instead of sugar flowers for our cake. On the day of my wedding we had to change the ceremony site due to mud. The coordinator called Carly and told her that we couldn't do the arbor anymore. Carly took it an created it into pieces that could be used at our new ceremony location and around the venue at the cocktail hour and reception site. The flowers all looked beautiful, and I received a lot of compliments on my bouquet. I could not recommend Carly any more highly. I wish there were more stars to give her!

ldn't have hired a better person for the job! Thanks Carly!!

However, Carly was able to take my vague ideas and words like “natural and vintage” and completely exceed my expectations! Carly is so sweet and amazing to work with. She works hard to make sure she’s accurately capturing all your ideas. Carly’s quality of work and flowers far exceeds her low price for the DC area. Call Carly now!

I didn't really have any idea what I wanted or how much I needed. Carly was great - providing a checklist on her website and so many neat ideas for arrangements, flower types that worked for a July wedding for my budget, and everything in between. She was also wonderfully understanding when I said my grandmother wanted a very elaborate (I think I used the word "gaudy") boutonnière. When my grandmother saw it at the wedding, she was so excited! In hindsight, I wish I had ordered more flowers for my reception, because they turned out so beautifully and smelled wonderful!

he will make suggestions and arrangements according to the size of your wedding, and will not try to "upsell" you on anything! We couldn't have been happier.

hroughout our whole wedding planning process! She caught on to our vision and intent for the floral arrangements that we had in mind with only a few pictures and very vague descriptions to work off of, and she went above and beyond to accommodate our ceremony, even considering some last minute torrential downpours! We would recommend Carly to anyone who would ask, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day special and beautiful! Thanks, Carly!!

ized and I really appreciated that she sent along pictures of the flowers that would be used in my arrangements along with the proposal. She even helped me save money with repurposing ideas for the ceremony arrangements. She was also very responsive to my questions and changes throughout the process and was able to seamlessly incorporate the book page flowers I ordered from Etsy (to go along with my Harry Potter theme) into my bouquet. I received so many compliments on our floral arrangements and I can't thank Carly enough!

nce working with Carly throughout the entire wedding planning process. At our initial meeting to discuss our wedding flower vision - she was super knowledgeable, personable, and easy to work with - designing a flower plan/proposal based on some Pinterest photos I brought with me. Additionally, she was able to help us save money by offering flower repurposing options! After our meeting, I would often email her with new requests and changes to the flowers - she was extremely responsive and flexible as well continued to provide exemplary service leading up to the big day! On the wedding day itself, the flowers were perfect and exactly what we envisioned! Every flower detail from the pergola arch to the flowers on the cake to the bridal bouquets received compliments. She also gave us a complimentary toss bouquet and an extra boutonnière! I would highly recommend Affordable Arrangements for wedding flowers! In addition to great pricing and customer service, I can guarantee the flower arrangements will be an absolutely unique and gorgeous touch to your wedding day!

angements at first but Carly met with us multiple times and was extremely accommodating. She worked with us to stay within the budget and provided us with affordable options, while also encouraging me to have the flowers that I really wanted. She delivered the flowers on the day of the wedding and everything looked beautiful and perfect! Thank you Carly and Affordable Arrangements for all of your help!! I highly recommend for anyone planning their wedding!

! I work full time so it was always difficult for me to take time off to meet with vendors as I was going through the hiring process. Carly was willing to have an initial consultation over the phone with me to talk about my vision. I told her I wanted rustic, blush and sage colors, and lots of greenery to fit our venue. She started by having me state everything that I wanted and we can always go back after and remove anything that doesn't work in our budget. Before I found Carly, I was growing frustrated with other florists who didn't really grasp the idea that we had a very strict floral budget and we couldn't spend an arm and a leg on flowers. Carly was so accommodating by making sure she found flowers that were in season and giving us a line item proposal with the costs of each item. Carly was always really responsive and quick to come up with new ideas when I had second thoughts about 6 months before the big day on my color scheme. Thankfully I stuck with my original plan because it turned out so well. She even found us a rental company to provide the milk glass centerpiece vases I was set on having for our wedding. Carly did the most wonderful job. I gasped when I saw my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets because they were so beautiful and beyond anything I could have ever imagined myself. She actually emailed me about a week before my wedding to ask if I wanted to incorporate some blush peonies at no extra cost because she had a bunch left and didn't ant them to go to waste. I am so thankful to her for that because peonies are one of my favorite flowers but I knew they were expensive and I didn't think we could afford them. Everything was absolutely stunning and she executed my vision better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend Affordable Arrangements to anyone!

elps you figure out what you actually need and is a god send when it comes to cost savings. She sticks to your budget and still makes the most beautiful arrangements.

elped me keep costs low! A few months later, my bridesmaid dress colors changed a bit, and the flowers no longer matched - so I emailed her and she quickly and easily transformed our original vision into something that would work. When I saw them on the wedding day, I was honestly blown away. They were GORGEOUS, and she was punctual. Thank you for making my wedding so beautiful, Carly!

rrived on the wedding day and were so so beautiful, fresh and colorful. Highly recommend!!

e had left over! She was budget conscious and super sweet to work with.

ecommending using Affordable Arrangements for any of your floral needs!

al. Given how stressful it can be to plan a wedding, I appreciated Carly's friendly and easygoing style. She is versatile, imaginative, and beyond talented. Thanks, Carly!

ers to look like. When I saw them the day of my wedding, they took my breath away! They were beyond beautiful and Carly put together exactly what I wanted! I would refer her to anyone looking for GORGEOUS flowers, someone with an impeccable vision, but would also like to stay within a certain budget. Thank you Carly!!!!

place in VA while living in NY and Carly made everything SO easy. She put my mind at ease over a couple phone calls, was able to meet my budget perfectly, and she was super responsive over email as well. We had a few changes (as do all weddings) and some last minute adds, but everything turned out seamless. On the big day, I wasn't worried at all - the flowers were exactly what I wanted and our guests all commented on their simplicity and beauty. My only regret was not being able to meet Carly to thank her. I highly highly recommend Affordable Arrangements!

enterpieces and the final outcome was better than anything I could have ever imagined. I was truly blown away. She is also a true professional and absolutely wonderful to work with. I can't recommend her enough.

add just a bit more flowers and “wow” factor and WOW did she deliver! The flowers were so romantic and beautiful and really showed off our venue and theme so well. I cannot say enough amazing things about Carly and Affordable Arrangements! She was so patient, answered every question my mom and I had and then some, and at the end, used an artist’s vision to make a show-stopping display of flowers! The pricing was also very reasonable and everything exceeded my expectations. I loved my bouquet so much I took it on my honeymoon with me to enjoy!!!

ur first conversation Carly knew exactly what I wanted and created floral arrangements even more beautiful than I had imagined. My bridal bouquet was a mixture of blush pink and ivory roses and looked stunning in photos. I highly recommend Carly for wedding flowers.

ceived so many compliments on the flowers for our wedding, and it is all thanks to Carly!

looked beautiful, I received so many compliments. Not to mention that her prices beat everyone else's by far. I would recommend her to anyone!

I just told her the colors and style I was looking for and she did the rest! She even gave us the extra blooms that she didn't use, extra boutonnieres, and mason jars to keep the bouquets in!

were able to add in some boutonnieres for us after we requested them only two weeks before the wedding. Everything was perfect and the guests loved the flowers! The price could not be beat either!

or so long and created my dream bouquet without breaking the budget. She was also able to incorporate lace from my late grandmother's wedding dress, as well as my sorority badge, into my arrangement, which made the entire bouquet even more special. Carly was very responsive, answered all my questions and emails and produced beautiful bouquets for my bridesmaids and boutonnieres for the groomsmen. She also was able to make two beautiful arrangements for our ceremony alter, as well as the cutest moss letters to hang on our alter creation. Over all the quality of the products was amazing, as well as the affordability.

You can tell that she has a true passion and talent for what she does. She worked with me to envision beautiful local and seasonal blossoms. When they arrived at the venue, the flowers were even better than I could have imagined. She was able to work with my budget and gave me awesome tips on how to save money (moving the bridesmaids bouquets and aisle arrangements after the ceremony to use as center pieces for the reception). The website has an awesome checklist to help you figure out what you'll actually want/need for your ceremony. She doesn't take any of the flowers back after the wedding, so we offered them to our guests. A quick tip- when you book your appointment, she works out of her house. You'll show up to a house and workshop in her backyard.

aking it a reality. Her prices were much lower than several other florists I met with, and the quality of her work was extremely impressive. I received so many compliments on how beautiful our arrangements were, and they held up perfectly through the whole day (and many days after). I would highly recommend her to anyone!
